๐Ÿšจ 26 stories to read before 2026 ๐Ÿšจ In another life, Curtis Thompson would have been an American footballer. In an even more unlikely alternate world, where Thompson leaned further into his maternal heritage, he could have been a badminton player โ€” a curious scenario, considering he is a six-foot-tall, 102-kilo American of Jamaican descent. But in this reality, Thompson thrives as a professional javelin thrower, ranked among the worldโ€™s best. Only two Americans have ever thrown farther than Thompson โ€” and many believe he could finally end the nationโ€™s 50-year wait for an Olympic javelin medal. @iraiva4716 profiles the eccentric American. ๐Ÿ“ฒ: bit.ly/44N7QnV #Bestof2025

Curtis Thompson did what no American has done since 2007. He won bronze in the javelin with a throw of 86.67m at the World Championships. It was the first javelin medal for the United States since Breaux Greer won bronze at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. ๐Ÿฅ‰ @Curt_Thompson_ | #USATFBestOf25
